    That's a pretty guitar. Did you get a book? Does it have "Red River Valley" in it? ;)

    I bought a cheap guitar once, and the neck separated from the body as though the glue gave way. I took it back and left it for them to repair. In the meantime the place went out of business. I never got that guitar back, and I never bought another one.

    No book, but it did come with a hex key wrench. :cool:

    It has something called a truss rod in the neck you can tighten or loosen. There is heated debate about whether that is a good thing or not, among classical guitar snobs.

    My first guitar was a cheap one back in the 70's, probably from Kmart. It was torture on your fingers to try to play and I gave up right away. Sold it to a woman for $10 who was tickled to give it to her son. He probably hated it. Funny we remember details about some things, and not others, isn't it?

    I forgot about the hammered dulcimer under my daughter's bed that she left behind. I wonder if it plays like a zither with hammers.
    I like the sound of them.

    It might be worth dragging out. Give it a try, Mary.

    "Beginning in 1965 with Michael Bloomfield at the Newport Folk Festival, Bob Dylan has used an array of the finest guitar players on the scene to provide lead guitar for his albums and backing bands. This video chronicles many of the brilliant guitar players he's chosen for his various projects from Newport through his "Never Ending Tour."

    Bob Dylan is very particular about his lead guitar players
